Office mein kaam karo, aur bas ghar jao...
NN is a fine lawyer and will do well wherever he ends up. Unnecessary swipes at him and spreading rumours is not what lawyers should be doing. Don't forget we are LAWYERS, not POITICIANS.
Sishir is the next css and Rishabh. Very good with reaearch, partners now rarely focus on that
Anyways, the point is that an individual does not matter to any professional organisation. Doomsayers here predicted that CAM would collapse after Ashwath's departure. Yes, there would have been loss of business but that's part of the game. CAM done too badly after Ashwath's departure if you check the facts, including in M&A. All independent and publicly available data.
And before you question any lawyer's competence, please speak to people who have worked with them. I might be wrong, but I don't think any client or even the lawyers working on the other side would question Shishir's professional competence. He is accurately acknowledged as a star. You would know, if you ever had the opportunity to work with or for him.
Kian; do you have a count?
Suffice it to say, I believe it's quite complicated but a personal matter at the end of the day from how I understand the situation and it would be inappropriate to dissect all the details in the comments.
I know inevitably this will trigger some conspiracy theories, but if anyone wants to discuss directly, please feel free to message me directly by phone or email and I'll be happy to explain our decision in more detail.
if the "personal" reasons relate to conduct in office, you probably should reveal these. [...]
I believe you when you say you are not under pressure from law firms. The request is to rise above the technically correct position and be considerate. That's all.
I know that won't necessarily convince conspiracy theorists, but if you wish, I'm happy to discuss this privately on WhatsApp or Telegram on my number if you'd like more information or have any information beyond what I have.
I spoke to the person concerned who's confirmed that there are no outstanding issues, and whatever issues they had were resolved "very satisfactorily" by the firm.
You'll note my language on all counts is intentionally very vague here for a number of good reasons, but all I can do is let you know in good faith that I believe we've looked into it in sufficient detail.
If the facts in respect of this story change or I or others learn new information, I'll let you know :)
in any case now everyone has left from the original crew
He will be lapped up in no time by rivals, gardening justified. After cyril yash, rajat and bhakta, Nikhil is the senor most cap mkts lawyer in the countey
